PERG | About the Guidelines
At the beginning of 2007, Sir David Walker was asked by the BVCA and a group of major private equity firms to undertake an independent review of the adequacy of disclosure and transparency in private equity. Sir David completed this with a view to recommending a set of guidelines by the industry on a voluntary basis.

On 17 July 2007, Sir David issued a consultation document which sought views from the industry and related bodies.
